Ron DeSantis criticizes Trump for 'energizing' Democrats more than JFK
Lord Ashcroft is an international businessman, philanthropist, author and pollster. His research is published atThe genius of the American political system is that the parties spend a year seeking the most accomplished, energetic, thoughtful, trustworthy, competent and generally impressive individuals they can find, before pitting them against each other ahead of an election for the highest office in the land. At least, that is the theory.
For many of these voters, times are hard. In my polling, few say they are better off than they were three years ago. Even those who voted for Biden in 2020 are more likely to say they are worse off than the reverse. While rising prices top their list of worries, crime, border control, housing, healthcare, drug addiction, mental health and the country's spiralling debt are not far behind.
For their part, Democrats tend to complain about their opponents' apparent readiness to believe misinformation. Everyone complains that social media entrenches these positions. This is hardly an auspicious backdrop for a leader seeking re-election, and Republicans feel the contest is theirs to win. The indictments have played a part. Most Republicans think the charges are politically motivated, meaning that even if there may be a case to answer, they doubt such action would have been taken against a defendant not called Donald J Trump. Likely voters in the round of primary elections say the charges make them more, rather than less, likely to support him and will help rather than hinder his chances of victory.
